We recycle

• Paper

• Cooking oil

We do

• Manage our venue's energy consumption by turning off unnecessary light and climate control to our rooms through a computerised BMS system
• Use Fairtrade products for all our hot beverages - Teas and Coffees
• Buy from small independent suppliers, and have seasonal produce tailored to our conference menus
• Have an on-site water purification system which has saved annually an estimated 92,000 1 litre glass bottles from being transported and saving an estimated 7,200 tonnes of carbon emissions.
• Use environmentally friendly cleaning products
• Operate an emission free electric vehicle to transport materials around the Royal Society of Medicine estate in W1
• Use electronic documentation and files where possible to limit paper consumption
• Install Tft Screens for conference room signage cutting paper usage
• Encourage the streaming of events so fringe delegates can access the conference at a time that suits them
• Encourage the use of video conferencing in all meetings allowing potential overseas attendees to reduce their carbon footprint by accessing the event remotely
• Use low energy light bulbs where possible

We don't

• Use air freight transport where possible, allowing us to limit "food miles"
• Use disposable or non-recyclable packaging
• Use Aerosols - all cleaning materials are in reusable containers
• Believe that the events industry needs to be a wasteful one
